Starcraft enthralls you in a story of amazing appeal, it grapples with the very concepts of creation and meaning, and it even sinks its way into the emotions of your character. Starcraft truely is a flexible and versatile game.

Aside from Starcraft having a great variability and balance to its races and units, it also has one of the largest and most popular following of the RTS community in the world. This game is moddable, online, and mappable. People release dozens of maps every week that are blockbusters among the community, be it the thriving constantly competing ladders of players duking it out 1v1 or team on team or even massively free for all in the unenhaned versus mode of the game or the thousands of players who stretch from asia to europe that create Starcraft emulating RPG's of games that arent even RTS's. Be it halflife Team Fortress or Dynasty Warriors, to even the Starwars Battle of Hoth, the ability to trigger events and edit units has made the ability of authors/editors to make maps that bring any game to starcraft is seemingly endless.

New and exciting game mods and formats are always being released online by a very innovative and genuinely unique community, so jump back in, or onto, or tear your ass out of the hay and check out some Use Map Settings today.
